Archaeology and ethnography along the Loango Coast in the south west of the Republic of Congo /
:
In 2011 and 2012, Dr Gerry Wait and Dr Ibrahima Thiaw undertook an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) project in Kouilou Department in the southwest region of the Republic of the Congo. The initiative had been commissioned by SRK Consulting UK for Elemental Minerals Ltd relating to a proposed potash mine. These landscapes were little known in terms of the sites and monuments from the distant and more recent past. That the area was important in the understanding of migrations along the African coast had been demonstrated in a pioneering set of excavations by Denbow. This base line study was undertaken to identify and evaluate cultural resources which might need further investigation.

La batellerie égyptienne : archéologie, histoire, ethnographie /
:
Les Actes du colloque international La batellerie égyptienne organisé par le Centre d'Études Alexandrines (USR 3134 du CNRS) mettent en évidence les caractéristiques propres de la batellerie égyptienne qui ne saurait totalement se confondre avec la batellerie nilotique. S'y ajoute celle des grands lacs situés au nord du Delta ainsi que le réseau complexe des communications mettant en jeu le fleuve, les lacs et les canaux. Pour faire apparaître les particularités et les permanences, l'étude porte sur la longue durée, de l'Égypte pharaonique aux temps modernes, et fait appel aussi bien aux sources archéologiques, historiques, philologiques et papyrologiques qu'ethnographiques. Sur une telle durée, seuls des éclairages significatifs ont été privilégiés pour leur exemplarité et leur capacité à établir des passerelles entre les diverses époques. À cet égard, la confrontation entre les différentes sources apparaît ici dans toute son originalité et sa richesse, en ouvrant de nombreuses perspectives de recherche.
